"The 100-year-old, who raised almost £33m for the NHS, was taken to Bedford Hospital after requiring help with his breathing on Sunday.

His daughter Hannah Ingram-Moore said he had been treated for pneumonia over the past few weeks and last week tested positive for Covid-19."

So sad to have just read this. What a marvellous magnanimous man, a real example of courage and selflessness in a self obsessed age.

I feel so sad that he was not well enough for the vaccine and died with Covid. I hope his family take comfort from knowing how many hearts he touched.

For those of us Gransnetters in our sixties, seventies, eighties and nineties, wondering whether we can still do anything to change the world for the better, Sir Tom has shown us that we can. What an inspirational man!
